Absolutely amazing! I came in with very patchy hair from previous dying, and I wasn’t sure what could be done to make it my natural. My hair stylist Jenny was the best! Matched my hair perfectly and the cut and style was the best. Thank you Jenny and your teachers! Will be back for sure.

Marca College is absolutely amazing. I’ve always had the best experience whenever I come. The students are talented and extremely professional. The instructors are knowledgeable and provide valuable feedback to the students. I definitely recommend coming here.

I went to MARCA Danforth for a cut and colour the day of a work party (which I needed to look good for, given my job is to be on camera). Big mistake.
I walked in and asked if a full head of highlights was a bad idea given my sensitive skin (I've had them before, but some people are more careful than others and I wanted to be reassured). I was assured the bleach wouldn't touch my head and even then it was ammonia free and handed off to a stylist who sat me down and verified we were doing colour. Apparently the cut and all the other information about sensitivity and the idea to use a less harsh toner hadn’t been passed on to her, so I did my best to recount what the instructors had said at the desk. Didn’t matter because 2 hours later when the foils were finally coming out, a method was used that I had never been part of ever before - each strand was pulled through with a towel and then sprayed down with water - painful on two counts. First, because there's a little added traction with a towel and it yanks your hair a little more than anything else and second because the bleach that hadn't touched my scalp before that point was now being sprayed, against my scalp by the water in a process that took about a half an hour and left my scalp mildly burning throughout the duration. Eventually I was taken over to a sink and rinsed and my hair was rung out repeatedly with an aggression that made me think they were trying to detach it from my head (yes, it hurt). I also had my hair brushed by 3 separate people who started from the top and ripped the combs all the way through with both maximum tearing and pain – confusing given even people who AREN’T hairdressers know not to do this. You start at the bottom and work your way up to avoid both. I have never seen so much of my hair somewhere OTHER than my head - it was just all over the paintbrush for the highlights and the combsAND the little bleach dish. Then came the cut , which I had to convince the stylist was a little bit layered/textured because she kept insisting it was a straight bob. Eventually she called the instructor over who said it WAS textured so the student started cutting and had me bend my head down to accommodate her height which would have been fine but it was slow and my neck got sore from being bent that way for so long. The stylist told me if I had come in earlier she could have styled it too - news to me because I had come in an hour before the cut/colour cut off time that I had been given over the phone the day before. The instructor then continued to finish the bob herself because the whole process had taken so long the school was closing. She puts a few waves in herself and I'm rushed off to pay and they snap a picture for their records and show me the back which is (drum roll) longer than the front - but I think maybe it's just the uneven waves and I'll fix it when I get home. Nope. Got home and the curls had fallen out so I brushed/straightened it to examine aaaand - yep - all crooked and mullet-y as you can see from the pictures (and in now way even a little layered/texturized which was something I asked for a little of even if they didn't see it in the picture). I will mention that the stylist was very sweet and enthusiastic and could make a great hairdresser if she received proper instruction (but that doesn't seem to be what she's getting). The colour looks good but wasn't worth the tugging/burning/overall pain. The cut was atrocious. I know most places offer to fix a bad cut if you go back, but given my experience and the fact that one of the INSTRUCTORS finished this cut, I have zero faith it would turn out any better. It's not worth the time, the pain or the trip there. DO NOT RECOMMEND.response / report this review -

I've been coming here for almost 30 years now.
I started coming because several of my cousins started there new careers here when they grew tired of construction and only working 8 months a year.
They are all doing well now and mostly retired.
I've kept coming and now I bring my children because we can all get a comparable good quality haircut at a fair price.
I enjoy meeting new students that are passionate and meticulous about there new craft.
The teachers are close by at every step and even though it may take a few minutes longer. The pleasant conversation and money saved makes it well worth it for me.
After 30 years I thought I'd post a review finally.
No idea why it took so long. I've always enjoyed my time spent here and everybody is always professional and pleasant.response / report this review -

What can I say they're students doing their best. I had a good experience and the teacher overseeing the students was fabulous and very experienced. I left with a great cut at a fraction of the cost.

L'Oreal Professionnel is proud to work with the campus directors of all Marca College locations to be able to offer students experience working behind the scenes of fashion events.
The directors are always looking for opportunities to help enrich and enhance their students learning.
The students are talented and professional and a pleasure to work with.
Already this year the students have worked on Supermodel Search Canada, Miss Universe Canada, and L'Oreal Professionnel's Hair Fashion Night.response / report this review -

This is totally a nightmare of school. Definitely don't recommend anyone to go there. I attended this college and those were the worst 8 months of my life. I think Canadian Beauty College is a much much better choice.

Done my hair once here. Price is OK but it takes 3 times as long as at a nearby place (next to Mr Sub a couple of blocks east) which is cheaper.

You get what you pay for. I've been going here for spa services for years and have been extremely happy with the treatments. In exchange for the low price, the spa area isn't as private or luxurious as a regular spa and you're getting a student, not an experienced technician.

I went to Marca College on the Danforth today and had the best experience!! the staff was so helpful and super friendly!! The students were very helpful with suggestions for my new look, they explained what the process was going to be for me to get what I wanted and I left with exactly that!! I will defiantly go back for future services!!! Maybe next time I will try out the spa services!!
